- Description
- The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Engineering Research and Development Center � Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory (ERDC-CHL) in Vicksburg, MS has a requirement for wind/pressure/ice/ 2D spectra fields for the Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, Pacific and Western Alaska at pre-defined domains, grid and time resolutions for the period 1 Jan 2022 through 1 Jan 2023. ERDC-CHL intends to award a purchase order on a sole source basis to Oceanweather, Inc., 350 Bedford Street, Sanford, CT 06901-172 in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). Market research indicates that Oceanweather, Inc is the only source for this requirement because Oceanweather has developed in-house tools (eg. Winds Workstation) that are capable of nearly duplicating hand kimatic analysis procedures and results.� There are no other groups (government, academia, or private consulting firms) possessing these characteristics and capabilities.� The government has determined that the circumstances of this requirement deem that Oceanweather is the only source reasonably available to provide this information.� Diverging from previously used methods would contaminate the resulting Wave Information Study (WIS) products (wind, pressure, ice and 2D spectra fields) and compromise the value of the larger database of wave information which includes prior resources. Oceanweather, Inc. is the only source available to deliver data which would be consistent and interoperable with the current dataset. Due to these reasons Oceanweather, Inc. is the sole source for this procurement. This is not a small business set aside.� This Notice of Intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, interested parties may identify their interests and capability to respond to this requirement. Any interested party that believes they can fulfill this requirement should submit a capability statement to be reviewed. All capabilities statments must include the title of this notice in the subject line of the submission.� All submissions will be considered, however there is no guarantee that submissions in response to this notice will be in any way alter the Government�s acquisition strategy. Please provide responses to this notice no later than the Response time listed above in this notice, to: CHL-CT-QUOTES@usace.army.mil Angela.D.Holcomb@usace.army.mil Telephone responses will not be accepted.� Responses to this notice will not be considered as a response to any solicitation, a request to be added to a prospective offers list, or to receive a copy of any solicitation.� A determination by the Government not to compete the contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
